: Just a note on process-

: I have used the flame pre-treatment to laminate glass onto PVC using West
: 105/207, and it worked scary good. I masked before I flamed, flamed,
: removed the masking, and remasked before the wet-out. Some epoxy got under
: the tape and stuck to non-flamed PVC. After it was fully cured it popped
: right off, but stopped at the edge of the flamed stuff. It is REALLY well
: adhered to that.

What does flame-treatment do and how do you do it?
